My Winter Herbs, etc.

The regular round onions will grown green onions.
This is most of my winter crops. I have some cayenne peppers in another building and some sage.
Peppers take so long I thought, I would try to save some of the best plants.

@Motomom34 We get some snow and it has gotten down to 29 a couple a nights ago. The rosemary & some of the onions are on the back porch. The rest are under a big tree by a carport facing the north. Thank you!

@TXKajun Thank you, No lights or anything like that. This is all outside and ok so far. I did lose the basil and stevia. I forgot to take a pic of the parsnip. It gets to the 40's most nights. I may later have to cover them The average daily low for January is 33 high 54. Feb. low is 32 and high 53. These are last years averages. I know this because Larry keeps a daily log of everything, lol That log has come in handy.

The last 6 pictures are from our 2 snows last year. 2-27-15 and 3-5, 2015

I really love working with these herbs, etc. When we lived on the gulf I had 12 months of gardening. I really love living where we have the seasons. I had tubs surrounding all of trees and huge green peppers. I will never forget that.

The swimming pool has cardboard (Pic one) in it that we use on the garden.

We had a lot of rain too @Ganado. But, the year before we had a huge harvest 1687 pounds (total weight)garden and herbs 671 pounds of tomatoes 33 pounds peppers. This was a unique year. Everyone had a bountiful garden. We were taking 10 grocery bags every time we went to church of squash and cucumbers.
This last year was 928 pounds. 440 tomatoes and 52 pounds of peppers. 2 small cucumbers..lol The rain hurt us.
Our garden is 60 by 60.
Ganado, I am getting excited right now about planting this spring. Several of my neighbors are anxious too.

@pearlselby you weigh your produce! that is awesome! i just count by bushel and peck cuz my grandmother did. I'm behind the times

Hi, Ganado, My hubby has been doing this since he started gardening. We are the only ones doing this among our friends. So, you are not behind times,
It is a way for us to tell how good a bean or pea or any seed is by how much we get. If we get too much one year, we can plant less and vice versa. And, then plant something different. Just another gardening tool..lol
